BREAKING: NH Democrat Delivers Stunning Flip in GOP Territory, Marking Latest Rebuke to GOP in Special Elections

Democrats have now flipped 28 seats since Trump’s election, while Republicans have still flipped zero  

WASHINGTON — New Hampshire Democrat Bobbi Boudman just defied the odds and clinched the latest state legislative seat flip for Democrats. Trump won this House seat in northern New Hampshire in both 2024 and 2020. Tonight’s victory is the latest proof point of the DLCC’s momentum and strategy as we prepare to flip both chambers in the New Hampshire legislature this November. 

This upset flip comes on the heels of several embarrassing losses for Republicans in red states, including Arkansas Democrat Alex Holladay’s double-digit swing just last week. Democrats have now flipped 28 seats since Trump’s election across red and battleground territory, while Republicans have flipped no seats. Momentum is undeniable as the DLCC gears up for a target map that could deliver the biggest gains in two decades this November.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:

“Tuesdays are becoming a headache for state Republicans across the country as they suffer one stunning defeat after another. Bobbi Boudman’s flip in New Hampshire tonight is just the latest in a string of 28 Democratic state legislative flips since Trump’s election. These wins aren’t a flash in a pan – together, they tell an undeniable story of Democratic momentum as voters reject Republicans and blame them for soaring costs.  The DLCC isn’t taking our foot off the gas as we gear up for a historic November. This is the year to transform power in state legislatures – we’re only just getting started.”

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) leads the national strategy to secure Democratic power in our state legislatures. We are the campaign arm for more than 3,000 state legislators and thousands of candidates across all 50 states who are advancing Democratic values and standing up to the dangerous MAGA agenda every single day. Over the last decade, our work has flipped 10 new chamber majorities. Those new majorities have ensured Democrats in state legislatures are positioned to protect our democracy and fundamental rights, while addressing the high cost of living and advancing opportunities. The DLCC’s national strategy and target map continue to pinpoint the most efficient paths to Democratic power across all 50 states.
